According to the new crossing rules, how long Zhou Qingfeng stays in the other world can stay in the real world for the same amount of time. In order to be able to respond to emergencies in a timely manner, he usually goes back and forth every 12 or 24 hours.

The garbage clean-up business in the real world has been dry for a month, and the rune research has also achieved initial results, and Zhou Qingfeng has slowly spread out the situation and made small achievements.

In the other world, Zhou Qingfeng took half a month to return to Harmony Village with the retreating team, and also entered a half-month recuperation period. Sophia can exist without him in the real world, but she is still firmly bound to him when she returns to the other world.

Thanks to the 'Holy Light' network, the retreating team was in danger along the way. Although the walk was slow, all the personnel arrived at their destination. Even the frail slave girls survived, were taken care of on the way, and gained a few pounds after a full meal.

Harmony Village is still the same, and for the people in the village, except for the elven ruins, there is still a lot of noise, and this month is ordinary. This is the normal life of the other world, and there have been no noteworthy changes in a few months and years.

However, Zhou Qingfeng led the team back, and the people in the village all walked out of the house and greeted him on both sides of the road. Several people knelt on the ground with their hands touching the ground. The same was true the last time he came back, and the villagers just wanted to show their greatest respect.

Lorraine sat on the frame of the carriage and was curious since entering the Black Forest. The number of horse-drawn carriages on the roads increased, and the flow of people became more frequent, and many poor people walked forward on foot to reach this village, hidden deep in the forest.

Such scenes are also rare in Banshee Castle.

"Our village is not difficult at all, and life here is much better than in the city outside." Seth kept giving lectures to the newcomers in the tone of a passer-by.

"When I arrived at Harmony Village, I had to learn some new rules. You will soon find that this place is very different from other places, some rules have been abolished, and some new rules have to be remembered. I've taught you all along the way, but don't forget. ”

On the way back, Seth, as Zhou Qingfeng's personal servant, repeatedly taught Lorraine and others the rules of Harmony Village, but now it's just a rehash of the same old tune. Everyone thought his domineering appearance was quite annoying.

But when I really arrived at Harmony Village, the gravel road was spread out from the entrance of the village, the flat ground was beautiful and generous, and the carriage was not bumpy at all.

Walking into the village, the people in the village are smiling, and the roads and houses are clean and tidy. There are special garbage cans on the road, as well as fixed toilets. It's like a paradise on earth.

Banshee Castle isn't that exquisite. In that city of more than 30,000 people, every household brought its own commode. The aristocracy and the wealthy would ask someone to clean it up, and the commoners would take the time to dump it. As for the poor, the whole world is a garbage dump and a manure pit.

Seth scolds himself every day in the Banshee Castle for stepping on feces when he goes out. Lorraine also secretly despised why this man was so hypocritical, after all, it was too normal to step on when going out. When she arrived at Harmony Village, she found that she was a little unable to get off her feet.

Because it's so clean.

The people of the village were also proud of the newcomer, and their eyes were too high to look down. Lorraine looked at his dirty shoes, tattered clothes, and thin and sallow face, and immediately felt like an uninformed dirt bun, and secretly felt inferior.

Not long after entering the village, a short and stocky bald dwarf jumped out. It first pounced in front of the female knight and shouted, 'Inisa, I'm not going to do it,' and then pounced in front of the skeleton horse, raising its hands and shouting

"Victor, you're finally back. Let me go back to refining potions, I don't want to be the temporary village chief anymore. I really don't have the management skills, this job is too torturous. ”

Lorraine was at the back of the convoy, poking her head out and looking ahead. She now knew who her master was, the tall young man in heavy armor on a skeletal horse, named Victor Hugo.

The bald dwarf said something in front of the warhorse, and the owner of Hugo and Lady Inisha turned around and walked out of the village. Lorraine's head turned, and she heard a few words of conversation.

The old dwarf complained, "In the past two months, there have been homeless people trying to enter our village, and there are at least a thousand of them. We can't contain this many people, so we have to refuse. But they refused to leave, and stayed outside the village and spontaneously set up a camp. ”

Lorraine knew what the old dwarf was talking about, and before entering the village, he did see a large dilapidated camp. At first, she thought it was Harmony Village, and she was extremely disappointed for a while. It turned out to be poor people who wanted to enter the village but couldn't get it.

Inisha followed, "This camp appeared two months ago, and it's full of outcasts from Coldwind City. They came to us at great risk, and many people died along the way. The people who are alive are all young people in their teens and twenties, mostly men, and there are no old people or children. ”

The old dwarf continued, "Coldwind City has been in chaos for the past two months. The Banshee Castle seems to have issued some edict, the Longlegs family can't control the situation, and the powerful people in the city are unwilling to sell any more grain. The famine broke out quickly, and a large number of dead people began. ”

The word 'famine' tightened everyone's hearts, and Lorraine understood what it meant—riots, fighting, cannibalism, slaughter.

On the way back to Harmony Village, the retreating party passed by the town where the famine had occurred more than once. Lorraine has seen thugs storming convoys with hunger, bandits holding dead people's thighs and gnawing on them, and wells stuffed with corpses.

No one wants to give food to the hungry. Not even Lorraine, who believed in Ilmat, because food was too precious. No one wants to remember those scenes, and just thinking about them can keep people awake at night.

"I bet." A few more heads poked out of the carriage, and the young captain who had led Lorraine before said optimistically: "Your Excellency Hugo will definitely not sit idly by. Our lord is a benevolent man. ”

Lorraine looked at the tall figure, and everyone up and down the carriage looked at him.

Sure enough, a sonorous voice shouted, "Give each of the homeless people a bowl of porridge a day." Also, don't let them be too idle, get organized, do whatever you want, go to the lumberyard to carry firewood. ”

The newcomers breathed a sigh of relief, and the villagers felt that this was the way it should be. Everyone looked at the tall figure in admiration and hurried back, as if the savior was in front of them.

The convoy officially entered the village, and every place was very novel. For example, the acidophilus ants that walk slowly on the side of the road are a sight that cannot be seen anywhere else. No one would have thought that those large ants would actually work as porters in the village, and they would do a good job.

"Lorraine, get out of the car and come with me." Seth greeted and gathered all the students recruited from the Banshee Castle, "Everyone, you have also seen that our village is the best in the world, and there is no one. ”

This remark aroused everyone's agreement, and everyone saw a lot of Northland towns along the way, and there was really nothing better than Harmony Village.

"You are also the luckiest of all, you have escaped the catastrophe, you have enjoyed preferential treatment, and you do not have to work. But it doesn't come naturally, and you have a mission to make yourself wiser and more capable.

War is about to go on in the Northlands, and you will be involved. Whether or not you survive the war depends on how much you can learn before the war? In Harmony Village, the weak will also have a mouthful of food, but only one bite of food. ”

Seth's words were a little dry, but they succeeded in lighting a fire in Lorraine's heart. She was a little girl who didn't have much idea about the future, but now she has infinite possibilities for advancement.
